Tide's Tomlinson injures knee, surgery required

Saban, following Thursday's practice, notified the media of Tomlinson's situation. While no official word was given as to the detailed nature of the injury, Saban noted that a timetable would be given after the surgical procedure.

Have to feel for Bama DE Dalvin Tomlinson, who will require surgery on his knee. He redshirted last year recovering from a knee injury.
